Awards and Legacy Tours
The Prairie Family Business Association has a desire to recognize the successes of exemplary family firms - those with a rich heritage, strong values, community involvement, and that have weathered the metaphorical storms of family enterprise.
The Association now presents “Excellence in Family Business” Awards at several local Chamber events annually. These honored families are then considered for the Prairie Family Business of the Year Award, as well as a runner-up. We also present the Heritage Award to a family firm of a local winner that has been in the family for 75 years or more.
Local recipients are the finalist for the Prairie Family Business of the Year Award, presented at the annual conference.Click here for History and Growth
